I've mentioned that there are two main languages in Moldova: Russian & Romanian.
Peace Corps Volunteers start our service learning one or the other, though the majority start with Romanian and only a few start with Russian. Once we've achieved a certain level of proficiency with the language we first studied here, we can begin taking lessons in both should we choose. 21 February is International Mother Language Day. While I didn't see or hear of it being celebrated in any of our local schools, I worked with the language/culture education team of Peace Corps Moldova to make some videos to mark the occasion. This highlights several cognates that are common to all three languages.
